Lost Treasure of the Indian Ocean Clipper
An 1863 treasure tale follows the English clipper Rising Sun, gold and jewelry worth over 1,000,000, a plague wreck, and a later voyage by the Indian Ocean Treasure Company. Lee’s raft escape, mutinies, and a final blaze over the wreck at Christmas Island end with the schooner Racer’s disappearance and the mystery of the fate of wealth and crew.
